I stood out under the morning light
I felt the heat of the Georgia night
I turned around on a sunny day
Met face to face with my feet of clay
I spent three long days in a cheap hotel
Threw every penny in a wishing well
I moved all my friends off to Tennessee
Nashville didn't do a thing for me
I live the life of a poker king
Too many sighs and too many things
I stood up tall and I acted mean
I turned around and lost everything
I said hey it's time to be a man
Time pass away like a grain of sand
Pass away like sand through and hourglass
I trade my future through the looking glass
I spent three long days in a cheap hotel
Threw every penny in a wishing well
I moved all my friends off to Tennessee
Nashville didn't do a thing for me
